What kind of diseases could you get from eating boogers ?

Question

This goes for kids and adult booger eaters !

Answer 1

Boogers are chock full of bacteria which your body has shuttled out by way of mucus. Mucus lines many of the pathways into the body's delicate innards, and creates a surface which is like flypaper for bacteria and other particles. Once stuff becomes mired in the goo, the loaded mucus is slowly escorted out by tiny hairs called cilia which sweep the undesirables back out the door. In regards to the nose, when this exiting mucus becomes dry, boogers are produced.

It’s not the eating them that’s the problem, it’s the nose mining that can be a dangerous pursuit. If the skin inside the nose is broken while picking away, the veins in that region are situated in such a way that sometimes an infection can migrate inward to the base of the brain and inhibit the blood flow, a serious condition known as cavernous sinus thrombosis. This condition can also be caused by squeezing zits on or around the nose. Because of these risks, the triangular area of the face from the corners of the mouth to the bridge of the nose is referred to in the medical community as the "danger triangle of the face."

Bonus trivia for you:
In the scientific and medical communities, the technical name for using one's finger to extract boogers is rhinotillexis, and doing so compulsively is termed rhinotillexomania. The act of eating the resulting harvest is called mucophagy.

My dog will steal the buggers off your fingers if you're not watching. I'm not kidding. Nothing happens when he eats buggers except for his eyes bugging out and him ferociously licking the bugger to get it off a finger.

Answer 9

If they're your own boogers, you're probably safe.

Well, I think it would be fine. The stomach has very strong acids that would kill the germs.
